Dear "Sunset Glow." .'Z^^_i.,^ Jn the twilight "glow" of your last issue, you were kind enough to talk to me, or about me, on the very front page of your inimitable sheet-��������� journal. Now it is a pleasant occupation to read your editorials at all times, when a person haa nothing else to do. because you are racy, caustic, amusing original, pointed in speech, frolicsome in language, clever in saying wbat is not fact on all fours, ready at insinuation, aud a fairly good, all-round Liberal-pen-driver. So you have had a nightmare, Mr. Editor, as a result of reading a paragraph or two of prof essor Odium's remarks, truthful and timely remarks, on "Helpless Protestantism." Be of good cheer, dear Sunset. The "nightmare" will take to heels and gallop away into utter darkness; and in due time your normal condition will return, provided you do not read another paragraph written by that man, Odium. Look the matter straight in the face, and see if Odium's letter if very much out of place; or in truth a timely production of a practical mind. Here is a quotation from the above heading, "Helpless Protestantism:" " . . Now where is our boasted, enlightened Protestantism? It is nearly a myth from a political viewpoint. It is a round, senseless zero. And it cannot organize. It has no means for organization. It lacks the constructive power, and in an election it nullifies its own actions. Practically as many vote 'yes' as 'no.' They are helpless and useless." The above quotation is clearly put. Now, Mr. Sunset, in place of trying to fool around this tre- m melons fact, and throw dust in the eyes of your , readers, take up my proposition and tear it to pieces, if you have the ability. In any contest where the Roman Church is united, and there is an election on of a party political character, and where the Conservatives and Liberals are nearly equally divided���������who must inevitably turn the election scales their own way ? You know, if you are capable and sincere, that in just such a case the result will be to give the Roman Catholic people the man they wish. ^ The old line parties nearly nullify each other in voting where they are fairly divided.

Sir: I am glad to get your valuable paper every week with its notes of passing events and comments on general topics. I sometimes visit Wesley fchurch on Sunday mornings and walk the whole distance and enjoy it very much until I get to the Public Market on the corner of Smithe and Grandville streets and see the place wide open for business. I saw in your last issue that the police were closing the. shops in South Vancouver on Sundays? All stores in Kitsilano are closed on Sundays, yet a Public Market on a principal street in the West End is allowed to be wide open. It seems to be the .law does not work out equally or else the law officers are not doing their duty. Crowds of people pass that corner on their way to places of worship on Sundays and it must be very annoying to see such open desecration of the Sabbath. How to stop it is a problem for consideration. Yours truly, T. WOOTTON. 2526 Ind. Ave. West. October 22nd, 1913. ��������� .... ON A PRAIRIE TELEGRAPH POLE. By Arthur Stringer.

PUBLIC'S RIGHTS NEED PROTECTION Mr. H.H. Stevens Urges Legislation Covering Industrial Disputes in Order to Prevent Strikes. (From News-*Advertiser' At the meeting of the Ward V, South Vancouver .Conservative Association, held at Fraser Hall last evening, Mr. H. H. Stevens, in an address, expressed himself as in favor of a Dominion law by which industrial disputes would be brought under control to protect the interests- of the great third party involved in all differences between labor and employers���������the public. Mr. Stevens' utterances were loudly applauded, and a vote of thanks was tendered him. Mr. F. Way, president of the association, occupied the chair, and Mr. Stevens was preceded on the platform by Councillor Thomas, School Trustee Campbell and Mr. A. H. B. Macgowan,' M.P.P. School; Trustee Campbell urged measures whereby easier access to farm lands for local people, particularly for the young men graduating from the High schools, could be secured, and Mr. Macgowan detailed what the Provincial Government was doing to encourage land setlement. South Vanvouver Helped Mr. Stevens dealt with postal "facilities in South Vancouver, stating since the Conservatives had come into office the service in South Vancouver Had been doubled, and that other improvements were being established from time to time and in contemplation. He dealt with the Oriental influx at some length in reply to a request and then turned to legislation, which was proposed to be taken up by the Conservative Government at Ottawa. He dealt with the naturalization bill, which was to be submitted at the next session and expressed himself in favor, of restriction which would raise the standard of citizenship. Taking up the question of industrial disputes he said that the matter presented one of the most serious problems in the world today, in New Zealand, in Europe, in the States and in this country there was at the present time a series of occurences in the dealings between capital and ja- b6r that showed how deep rooted the trouble was and how necessary, it was to immediately take steps to cope with it effectually before the evils that were known and not remedied struck too deep into the social fabric of this country. tabor l-sws Inadequate/ Here on this coast we had witnessed-the happenings in the coal mining area of Vancouver Island and what had taken place there had shown unmistakably the total inadequacy of our labor laws. The results of what legal steps had been taken had been absolutely futile/ He was not entering into any controversy as to the rights or the wrongs of either side. He was just pointing out that there was no machinery in the- Dominion or in British Columbia that could bring about a settlement of the dispute- There had been much talk of the rights of the employers and much talk of the' rights of the employees and he did not want it to be inferred that he was taking a position antagonistic to or in favor of either. What he wanted to point out was that conditions should not exist which would allow any interest to supercede the rights of the public in the matter. AU three interests had rights in the matter and all three should be protected. Neither the Provincial Government nor the Dominion Government officials had exhausted all the resources in their power to bring about a settlement. As far as Mr. Crothers, the Dominion Minister, was concerned, he could say conscientiously that he had done all he could do within the letter of the law, but to Mr, Stevens' mind, in a case like that existing on Vancouver Island, it was the duty of a government official to go even beyond the letter of the law and employ methods which, if not sanctified by legal enactment, would certainly be supported by the moral strength of the community, in whose interests they would be tended. * ex- r he - Where tt pays to deal.

There had been no real attempt, he said, to get at the bottom of this dispute of the coal mines of Vancouver Island.

See the strong .tendency to English Style Oi THREE-BUTTON MODEL 61 Type-Natural Narrow Shoulders Shapely Waist; and Snug Skirts CliMewart The foolishness of throwing open for homestead entry, in the usual way, extra valuable areas of land that bave been unavailable hitherto, was demonstrated last spring at Edmonton. A tract of land In an old timber berth was to be offered for homesteadtng on the morning ot Tuesday, April 22. On the Saturday before a rush Into line began, but the police dispersed the crowd. On Monday evening, however, after a conference between the police and the land office authorities, it was decided to let the applicants line up. This Is how the News Plain- dealer described the delightfully genteel Incident: "Immediately the clock tolled the hour of nine, a free fight took place between the applicants for positions and the police. Blows were, exchanged freely, with the result tbat one man, who, by the way, headed a petition to the Dominion Oovernment ln June last year, that the land be thrown open, received a blow on the back of the head with an Iron bar which rendered him unconscious for several minutes. This fracas lost him his position ln line, but a personal friend jumped Into his place, and held lt till he recovered. He obtained fourth position, which he held till morning, when he secured his pick." How pleasant! What a fine expression of good government! What a perfectly just and desirable way of giving the weak an equal chance with the strong! What a business-like administration of valuable public resources! It 1b really time that our homestead regulations were revised to meet occasions of this Bort���������Canadian Countryman.

He considered that South Vancouver, with Us large area and Ita Industr.al sli-S, was an ideal place for a municipal plant which would prove a success. It the difficulty of expensive sites could be gotten over by the securing of land at a reasonable price, and power was supplied at a reasonable rate, Industrial concerns would gladly avail themselves of it At the first power would be obtained from steam, the latest form of turbine being brought into use, which would not take much room.. Steam would be generated by the burning of coal and wood/; and might ultimately be obtained by the burning of refuse as had been found quite practicable. Mr. Rawden gave a large number of figures, which had evidently been cornplled with care and labor and seemed to bear out his contention. The members of the association present urged that it was impossible to over-estimate the Importance of Mr. Rawden's statements, but they said that It was a matter which should be thoroughly discussed and expert opinion obtained on it One Of the members said that he wished to correct an opinion which had gone abroad, about the Council submitting a by-law for the municipal plant The fact was petitions were being signed throughout the municipality, and lf the petitions were sufficiently'signed such a by-law would be submitted! In view of tbe importance of the matter, it was locally agreed that the next meeting of the association should be devoted to this discussion, and Mr. Martin, secretary, said he would see the executive and find If lt could be arranged. It seems probable that next Thursday the association will have a public meeting, to which the Reeve and Council will be Invited. Mr. Rawden will be present to answer any questions with regard to the matter.

What May Be Expected. Chug, chug! Br-r-r, B-r-r! Honk, Honk! Zip, zip! The pedestrian paused at the intersection of two busy thoroughfares. He.saw a car making at him from one side, a motor-cycle on the other, a motor-lorry in the rear, and a taxicab threatened his waistcoat buttons. Zing-gling! He looked up, and saw a runaway aeroplane in rapid descent. There was but one chance. He was standing on a man-hole cover. Quickly seizing it he lifted the lid and jumped into the hole, but alas! 'only to be run over by a tub train.

Milwaukee &������8t Paul Railway, Into Vancouver from at. point M 'welty present line to Seattio, are reported" from competent authority. Tho project is the construction of a through railroad from United States to Alaska. Prom Vancouver, tho^ plans 0a_ts fee roaming rights over tip Psdle^Qnat Eastern as far as FOrt George, and' trom-there a new charter'for k Ham,*pl connect with the White Pass ft Tu*- kon Road, which rues from Skagway to White Horse. The Standard Oil Hone/ Interest* ._ are connected with the scheme. With- tn tho past yoar valuable oil Balds - have been discovered In Alaska by experts sent out by the big oil trust, aad' " tt Is believed that with adequate development tho new fields will become' extremely profitable. With tbe building of this road a long-cherished dream of the United Statea Government will haye bean realised, direct rail connection with Al* aska, which would be invaluable la caae of war. Tho question remain^,. where would Vancouver stand to gain by the scheme? According to tha plans of the promoters, aa outlined IS brief above, the value of the line to this dty would be more apparent than real. The fade ot tho northern fait of the province and of the Yukon, which should have ita natural market In thia dty, would very probably'find ita way to Seattle, for .Vaa-oopvar would be only a way station on the new railway, and -Seattle would be -he terminus. This is an aspect of thi project which will probably appeal to the business men of this dty tad dip* trlct, and no doubt strong representations will be made to the Provincial Government to protect the tntereata of British Columbia merchants. For over a year the Chicago, MU* waukee ft St Paul Railway haa been trying to secure entrance to Vancouver, and the terminal site sought was the Kitsilano Reserve. Later negotiations took the form of agreement to divide or share the temjnala then with the Canadian Northern. Another portion of the plan waa to secure running rights over the Canadian Northern from a point near Chp. ltwack, hut within the past few weeks agents of the Chicago, Milwaukee * St. Paul hare been negotiating for lit purchase of the radial right-of-way from Chilllwack, hut without oncosts. Ultimately, arrangements wW probably be made with the* C. N. R. for running rights. Connection with the Pacific Great Eastern on the north shore would he made by means of a cut-off from a point on the Fraser near New Westminster, around Port Moody. EBURNE.

Mount Pleasant Decorators POona fat*. 008 2317 Main Street My Very Dear Saturday Sunset (Continued from pafe 1) the Roman machine must make the /turn, if there be no other party to counteract. In many electoral districts the Orangemen do this work. But the whole point of the letter on "Protestant Helplessness" is to bring'out the fact that Protestantism, cms such, has no machinery to match that of the Romans except so far as they use tiie advantages of the Orange Order. Now, sir, am I right or wrong in my plain statement? Don% be afraid. Speak up boldly. You will gain more aid for your paper and party by talking plainly. Talk to the point. No man of sense is influenced, more than momentarily, by your fun-making squiblets. These jocularities may do for the. banquet table, 'but for every day life, fin* solid business, and for party progress they are useless and harmful. Do you imagine you are attracting 'the "twelve or fifteen per cent'' of Catholic votes by poking fun at Odium? They are not fools. But they measure up the attempt made by your jokes to catch them, and in turn laughingly say: "The Sunset is funny. It is trying to bring us into its party. It is too thin, too superficial, and 'too raw' to draw us from our straight line of duty." ''./'"���������' No, Sir, the men who fdra the "outlook committee ',' of the' newly organized party are too astute to let your gibing and joking win' them from their course. Give up the attempt and settle down to solid journalism as you can when so minded. Once more i forgive you, for you are trying to do something for your paper and party. A word now in relation to Mr. H. H. Stevens, M. P. I see you make reference to him in your remarks about Odium. Certain letters, such as V. S., U. S. A., and other, you use; so as to sarcasti- cise at his expense... In this you fail. The "V. S." used by you signifies that Mr. Stevens, in his desire as an intelligent, enterprising young man, seeking knowledge and experience, found a way by which he was enabled, at the expense of Uncle Sam, to visit China and other Oriental lands. And surely that very experience, so obtained, has aided and is aiding Mr. Stevens to give most valuable help in directing the attention of all live, public-spirited Canadians to the pressing subject of Chinese economics in China and the Dominion ��������� of Canada. Qis very trip and observation among the Orientals have helped in fitting him for his present advantageous position at Ottawa. Surely, Mr. "Sunset Glov^" with emphasis on the sunset, you are not jealous of the success attained by Mr. Stevens, in spite of those who would gladly throw him down. I see also that you are still after the political scalp of the Honorable Attorney-General. You assert that Mr. Bowser didn't want Mr. Stevens for a candidate. Are you saying the thing which is true? Again, speak up, fpr we would like to know. Did the Jlonprable Attorney-General of British Columbia so inform you? Did he so tell his friends? Get to work and let the public have all the facts. The people are curious to know the facta and truth. This charge against the Honorable Attorney-General is old now, and has--been-roadisbyn -you before. It is too serious to be made and reiterated without proof. But I would a word with you in passing. You seem bothered concerning those "Four Stamps." And why, pray ?" Have you another of your journalistic nightmares, or one of the "conniption fits" you are fond of using as padding in your paper? A stamp is intended to make an impression. You call certain men "Stamps," therefore they must have impressed you considerably. Perhaps you do not like to see so many stamps tied together in a fourfold band. They are too strong and effective to suit. Their allegiance and loyalty bother you. And they are "Rubber" too! Gracious! Now we .know that rubber is useful, and one of its best qualities is its elasticity. Would you have public men unyielding, inelastic, and domineering? Are you in search of public men who have only one bone in their back? If so, you cannot find them in the four men whom your paper so frequently, reviles and discredits. Are they hot good, useful and able men, and faithful servants? Whom would you use to supplant them? Of course one of your choice would be the Editor of the '' Sunset Glow. "He would make a very good public servant, if he were a little more serious and devoted to the general welfare. Still, there is hope for him. Iii fact as soon as he is sufficiently improved he can count on my vote. This is one solid Orange vote, but he must be worthy, to make sere of it in the pinch. AN IMPORTANT MASS MEETING. * Jewry is stirred throughout 'the world because of the" monstrous brutalities of the Russian Government and ruling people in high positions. The Jews in Russia, as well as elsewhere over the earth, keep their old-time feasts. One of these is the Feast of Passover. And in this connection, it lias been the habit of officials of the Russian people, under inspiration from the government, to adopt a most despicable method of persecuting the Jews of that great empire. The general plan is to teach, affirm and officially say that the Hebrew' people, in order to prepare for the ceremonies, murder a child so as to secure blood for the religious purposes of the Passover Feast. The immense majority of Russians, and of the civilized World, know this brutal charge is based on lies and designed fabrication intended to turn the hate of the ignorant people against the Jews, and to some extent away from the corruption of a corrupt officialdom. ' , -X The above mass meeting will by held by Christians and Jews on Sunday the 5th instant in the Dominion Hall on Pender Street at 3:30 p. m. His Worship the Mayor will preside. Among the speakers 'vdUv;be.ythe:''.]i^y.\;Dr.;:'^a8f������-,' the Jewish Rabbi, Professor Odium, and others. All citizens of Vancouver are invited and urged to attend for the purpose of expressing their sympathy with the cause of alleviatirig the persecutions of the suffering Jew who has been charged with the most inhuman act possible to mankind. Falsely has he been charged, and at this very time the machinery of corrupt Russia is grinding out the heart and life-blood of these persecuted Hebrews. Surely Christendom has a heart of loving sympathy, and ywill show it to some extent next Sunday afternoon in the Dominion Hall at 3:30 pro.

She complimented "the order highly on their activity and the rapid advance they had made in the short space of little more than one year, whicb had elapsed since she was present at their organization. Another matter commended by the speaker was the formation of a girls' auxiliary, which holds Its first meeting (Friday) afternoon. Miss McKenzie said the' order had had been making rapid strides in Canada because it was meeting the needs of city, town and country. The Duchess of Connaught from her appeal to the people of Canada had raised an investment fund of 1222,000 and the interest of this had helped the work of the organization. The. development of all the branches around Vancouver, the speaker said, is very marked. Everyone of these Is forging ahead. North Vancouver finds work for several nurses. Steveston, Burnaby and South Vancouver are each planning tor hospitals. Among the organisations formed by Miss McKenzie on her present Western tour are One at Uno Park, in the Cobalt region, and two at Manitoba, one at ABhern, a new town north of Winnipeg and tbe other at Roblin.

Yet, not everyone realizes just how much truth lies in this statement. For the old rhyme puts in popular form what Is now known scientifically of the value of fruit in the diet We might well take counsel of this maxim and be guided by it to make more generous use of fruits, especially at this time of year when they are plentiful and easily obtained. We wish we had space to copy all of Dr. Helen McMurchy's .racy and educative article, on the place of firuit ln tbe dietary, which appears ln Canadian Countryman���������as fitting companion to tbe National Weekly's campaign in behalf of B. C. fruit. Here's just one paragraph: "Granted that fruit ls worthy of a prominent place in the dietary, one is constrained to ask how cooking affects its value. Fruits when stewed lose part of their content so lt is important to use the juice in which they have been cooked. Tbe cellulose of fruit is softened by cooking, and also the pectins are converted Into jellies. The general effect of cooking'Is to make fruit more digestible, although some of the fine flavor may avaporate in the process. Unripe fruit Is difficult to digest because it contains so much cellulose and because of. the large amount of acid whlh Is Irritating to the digestive tract-As fruit ripens, this acidity tends to disappear. When thoroughly ripe, fruit Is not difficult to digest and the cellulose, when not too tough, is a useful stimulant to intestinal action. For this reason fruit such as stewed prunes is a remedy for constipation. When fruit is overripe, dangerous and irritating acids develop, so great care should be taken to use only such fruit as is in perfect condition. Fruits may be divided as food fruits���������those containing less than 80 per cent water-****_nd flavor fruits��������� those containing a percentage greater than that The latter class Is represented by a fruit such as the apple which, however* is one of our most valued fruits. We are all glad to welcome tbe rosy cheeked beauties when the season arrives, and no one does so more gladly than the housekeeper who finds In them such a delldous addition to the dietary."

It should not matter who these men are; if this was the truth the public should be made aware of tbe true facts. These things emphasized the need of a change of the laws governing such matters, and he advanced such a change. It was necessary to make both the unions and the employers responsible parties, responsible to the law. Under the present Lemieux Act there is no means given for enforcing the award of an arbitration. He did not care much for the term "compulsory arbitration," but something on that line should be porvided. . Both parties must be made amenable to the award. Unions Not Responsible. The unions now are not responsible and they should be incorporated by law, and the employers' association, which in many cases is a strong factor in the disputes, should be converted into legal entities or not allowed to do business. This was the subject that must receive immediate attention from our statesmen. Doctors and lawyers and professional men were permitted to incorporate into legal entities, many of them with great powers over their members and the public, and no good reason could be advanced why this right should be denied to the workingmen with the formation of their guilds or crafts. It had been charged that some of the labor organizations were aliens because they had affiliation in the United States. He wanted to say that the same applied to many of the employers' associations, who had headquarters in the country to the South.���������News-Advertiser. SOUTH VANCOUVER Cedar Cottage.

There was a suggestion a short "Gold is the most valuable of all metals," you declare. Are you sore? Gold, it is true, is the most precious of the metals and the highest-priced, but if we are to estimate the "value of a thing on the basis of its usefulness, then gold would not be by, any means the most valuable of our mineral products. We are told that "Iron vessels cross the ocean; Iron engines give them motion. Iron pipes our gas deliver; iron bridges span our rivers; Iron stoves for cooking vituats; Iron ovens, pots and kettles; Iron horses draw our loads; Iron rails compose pur roads; Iron anchors hold in sands; * Iron rods, and bolts and bands; Iron houses, iron walls; Iron cannon, iron balls; Iron axes, knives and chains; Iron augers, saws and plains; Iron globules in our blood, Iron particles in our food; Iron lightning rods on spires; Iron telegraphic wires; Iron hammers, nails, and screws��������� Iron in everything we use." If you were to try to name half as many uses to which gold is put, you could not do it We could do without gold, for silver and copper could take its place to a considerable extent.

"Do I know yout" ; "No," and I cut the rope binding his ankles. "But I was searching for you. I am an officer of Maxwell's brigade; my name Is Lawrenoe. Tell me first what has happened���������why you are being held prisoner." He stretched his cramped arms and .legs, lifting his hat so that I saw his faoe dimly. In the gloom his resemblance to Claire was so remarkable ���������that I involuntarily exclaimed: "Heavens! but you look Uke your slater!" "Like Claire! they all say so; you know her?"

Now listen, and perhaps together we can (make something out of all this. I went to the place where we were to 'meet, and had a talk with Grant��������� yes. It was .Grant aU right He told me some things, but needed a day or two to get other information. While) waiting I came over here to Elmhurst, land found Claire. She's the kind of a girl you can tell things to. and I wrote out what I bad learned, and left soma; -of my papers. Then I went back to Lone Tree. It was dark when I got stbere, and I rode right into Fagin and three of bis men. They had me before IcoubUKt a hand." "Just wait a minute. Mortimer," % broke In, becoming suddenly aware tbert was a grayness in tbe eastern sky. "I want to creep in toward the bouse while it remains dark- You can tell tbe rest as we go along. Tom, take these ropes ahd tie your man up. Make him safe, and then come along after us." "All right, sir. I'll fix tbe lad so bell b# safe enough for a while." CHAPTER XXX. We Attain the House. "Come on. Mortimer, and well soon find out whst ls going on." I turned to the prisoner. "Where are the rest of your gang?" "You'll find out fer yerself, irlster," he answered sullenly, "an' maybe damn quick too." 'They are In the grape arbor to tbe soutb of the house," brake in Brie. "That was where Fagin told tbem telle quiet and wait orders." "Then we will explore along tbt north side, keeping the fence bettwsen us. I've got a handful of men over there in the orchard. If you are both ready we'll go." I took a look myself at Tom's rope* tying, and found lt satisfactory. Indeed; in remembrance of my own suffering, I even loosened the strain a little, confident the fellow could never free himself unaided. Then the three of us. Mortimer armed with bis late guard's gun, crawled up over the edes ���������C tbe bank, ran without atopptag across the open spaoe, and crouched in tbe shadow of the fence. It was still dark, although a faint gray tinged ths eastern sky-line, barely perceptible through tbe intervening trees. The great house, a hunured yards away. was but a blurred outline, distinguishable by the lights shining out through open windows. At that dlstanoe no sound reached ua. However, If Mortimer was right, the way would be clear for our passage along the front, under shelter of tbe fence,' even though a sentry was posted there, aad we eould creep up to the walls on the opposite side unobserved. All we needed to do was to advance with caution. Whispering directions Into the ears of the others, 1 moved forward slowly, Mortimer close to my shoulder. I could see across the top rat! of the fence, and the open space beyond yielded no point of oonoeal t _Tell me the rest of your story," Where did Fagin take your" to a sand cave; we rod* * alt* and a day to get there.-" "Treat you aU right?"

THE COLLEGE IN THE HOME. The worker wbo realizes. Ms need ot education and fuller Information can get it. He must bave it supplied to the home, to be studied from day to day. It must be suited to bis. conditions, and be practical. To belp him, it must add to what he knows or can learn for himself from hia work. So it must lay before him the experience of others, as well as the facts dug up by Science. And out of the great mass of available material, careful selection must be made for bim, so that the greatest amount may be learned, of the best value, in the shortest time. The one instrument tbat can be relied upon to give tbe greatest service to the greatest number is the instructive home magaslne. A WIDER RANGE OF READING. A paper, which exists to provide technical and trade education to the people who are developing Canada must, however, in the nature of things, do more than that. As life is more than meat,' so are the people of this great new land interested in more than the work of their hands. The women and young folks in our homes are concerned, with the men, in making home life more comfortable, more attractive, more satisfying. In providing articles we Bhall assume that all our readers bave a love of the beautiful, and that they desire to realise it more in home surroundings and In daily life, and thought. There will be profit in studying beautiful designs. Interior decorations and furnishings are of course interesting to those to whom their home is their city in one. Gardening is an art as well as a science, and to many it is a delightful hobby. None can, indeed, yield more of happiness both to oneself and to the rest of the family. .The garden of . the mind and that of the heart shall be cultivated by the stories and the little histories and the other things we expect to publish. "THE GREATEST GOOD OF THE GREATEST NUMBER." Our men and women have an interest in public affairs which might be intensified, and which should be fed with fuller information. The fathers and mothers of the Canadian people of the next generation cannot know too well the story of -their country, cannot watch too carefully the conduct of governments. The difficulties of governing and legislating for a nation spread over four thousand miles are intensified by the variety of nationalities and sectional interests which exist. The sympathetic appre ciation of these difficulties and the criticism of the government's shortcomings go properly together. Exclusive consideration of self or one's class ls contrary to the spirit of citizenship, and is dangerous when it ls the habit of many in the nation. There is but one way to be -fair. It is to understand. The people of the various classes must get acquainted with each other. THE NATIONAL SPIRIT. The first duty of the citizen and the father of citizens is to know his country, all of it,, as well as he can. Thinking people will study ln fairness the conditions prevailing in other parts' than those with which they are familiar. They will seek to .balance evenly the interests of all when they set out to promote their own. At bottom, we all need to know the facts more fully, and to listen less impressionably to the politicians that pervade our bounds. To give the facts as fully as we can, and to open our columns to the opinions of all sides of disputed questions, is the policy we shall follow in such matters. We cannot undertake to indorse the views expressed by every writer. Neither shall we state partial or one-sided arguments. The Canadian Countryman will be the blackboard on which everyone may chalk up his ideas���������lf only he writes a good enough band to please the audience! In such matters the rules of debate shall be Straight Argument, Fair Play and Good Feeling. The big thing is, to dig out the Truth. OUR NEW NEIGHBORS. We shall try to make Tbe Countryman especially Interesting and useful to those who bave not been long enough in Canada to understand very well just what sort of a country this is, or how to make the most of their work here. We extend a warm welcome to these additions to our big family, and offer tbem our. best. THE NEW MORAL8 IN BUSINESS. One of the most striking features of modern business has been the extent to which we are dependent upon advertising for information upon the articles and services we buy. We sell our wheat, our bacon, our wool, to people we have never seen, and they trust to get good quality when they know where the goods come from. Similarly we buy from factories often thousands of miles away, and the men who make our shoes, our clothes, our mowers and engines do not know us from the heathen Chinee. Yet they talk to us about their goods. They explain their good points, and give reasons for discrimination between theirs and others; reasons which we consider carefully when we buy. When we are sufficiently convinced by this talk of quality and service by the advertisements, the. retailer or agent.haa a hard time of it if he tries to change our views. But sometimes in the past, and occasionally even ye.t, Ve'are fooled by false statements or too plausible boasting. There are useful things and useless things advertised. ' There are occasionally exaggerated claims to merit made for even the best goods. The reader must have confidence in advertising on the whole, or he cannot get along. Advertising should be cleaned ef that sort which misleads, which injures the public in "morals, health or pocketbook," as one magazine has expressed it. We pledge ourselves to do our utmost to keep our pages clean of all such questionable advertising.���������The Publishers of "The Canadian Countryman." P. S.���������In the first issue of our magazine (our special British Columbia issue, by the way) begins our new serial story, "Gaff Linkum," hy that prince of Canadian novelists, Archie McKlshine.
